Quick Update -- Common Sense Prevails, Briefly

A quick update on a post from yesterday -- DISD teacher Joseph Drake, who was placed on paid leave for "alleged misconduct" right after emailing a trustee to complain about a school board decision, has been reinstated, according to the Dallas Morning News.

While Onlooker Slowdown would like to take the credit, it is much more likely that the press conference that Rene Honea, president of Alliance-AFT, called to petition DISD to stop bullying teachers did the trick.

Full disclosure -- I am a member of Alliance-AFT as well. It is worth the dues to have protection in case I am sued over something that happens at school, and to have assistance in the event that something like this happens.
